From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 10 December 2019. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
62 Addington House is a residential care home that provides accommodation and personal care support for up to six adults with learning disabilities and or autism. At the time of our inspection five people were using the service.

People using the service receive planned and co-ordinated person-centred support that is appropriate and inclusive for them.
